  1. Let me be the first whiner. I was hoping this would be similar to a piece of stereo equipment. Front loading carts with all the ports and switches in the front as well. Missed opportunity.
  2. I belong to the reckless speculation crowd. It's a lifestyle!
  3. This is my reckless speculation... the Atari store will be ported over to other platforms like Windows and Linux. This will likely be later, rather than sooner. There are so many mini-PCs out there. This seems to be the hot new trend. They could release Atari OS so people can roll their own Atari box out of these mini-PCs. Atari could also establish a partnership with one of these manufacturers and do a limited Atari VCS 2 run.
  4. https://www.facebook.com/zeropagehomebrew/posts/pfbid027LmqpiUWhEGorzgY9n2L6qjwuENpNetuYbiDt8K8voC3TdCfitAn841qVvD9qKezl
  5. I found 1.04e eeloader - Is there a more recent version? Does it make any difference?
  6. I borrowed a pokey from my Atari 400. It'll be great to return it to its home. Thanks for the hard work on this project!
  7. I have an A/V modded Junior. Only producing black & white video. Otherwise the picture looks great. The color/B&W switch works, but it just changes the grey shading. I've tried multiple TVs/displays. I turned the 500k trimmer pot, but it had no effect. Any ideas on getting color back?
  8. Windows took over access to the bios. I followed method #2 on this page and it worked. https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/how-to-enter-bios-setup-windows-pcs
  9. I've used the windows USB fob that I used to install Windows, won't boot to that anymore. I also have a USB drive with refind on it. Also no worky. I haven't tried an AtariOS recovery USB yet. Not interested in AtariOS but may try it to see if anything will work. Not holding my breathe.
  10. I blew away AtariOS and installed Win 11 Pro. Now I can't get into the BIOS. Hitting the ESC key doesn't work, although it briefly tells me that I hit the key. Del key doesn't do it. Also booting the system using a USB drive doesn't work. Anything else I can try?
  11. There's a post a few pages back that has instructions on how to revert to an older bios firmware where the password works.
  12. I'm not in the database, possible to change that?

    Maddeness

    Looks like they were working on an X and Os football game. They actually made Madden Football box art. They scrapped the game and replaced it with Solar Fox for those that registered for Maddeness. http://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/unreleased/unreleased.html#maddeness

    Maddeness

    Does a prototype exist for Maddeness? This was going to be a football game for the 2600 by CBS games before it was cancelled. Mentioned in this ad.
  15. Steam OS isn't being maintained. There is a new Steam OS supposedly coming out when the Steam Deck is released. Wait for that or install ChimeraOS.
  16. Is someone still maintaining this list?
  17. After I disabled secure boot, I installed a boot loader on my USB drive. The boot loader menu let me select Atari OS, Windows that was installed on the internal m.2 drive, and Ubuntu on the USB drive. Are you on the pre-order list for the Steam Deck? That seems like a better deal than the Atari right now.
  18. There was a thread on Facebook of a person having trouble with the celebrate password. After a passage of time, it suddenly worked. No idea what changed. Make sure you are typing a zero and not an upper case o.
  19. I don't use PC Mode. I use a boot-loader to boot directly into Windows. Not a beginner project, but once set up, works great. They are expecting a new SteamOS release to coincide with the release of the Steam Deck. Hope that works out. Dirt 5 doesn't work with the Atari VCS... just too demanding. But Dirt 3 works great. Dirt 3 is a better game in my opinion and a lot of fun on the VCS.
  20. In the changelog for the latest Oct 14 2022 build.
  21. Looks like we have our answer. Flashback Fridays. $2.99 per game. https://www.gamingcypher.com/atari-vcs-flashback-fridays-begins-with-basketbrawl-7800-and-desert-falcon-7800/
  22. I get the sense they released this prematurely. There is speculation on Discord that they plan on selling 7800 roms in the store. After you purchase the rom, it will then work with this emulator. Just guessing at this point.
